A guy tries to catch an electric eel with his bare hands. What happens next is shocking. Literally.

Yeah, this totally doesn’t seem like it could go wrong in any way.

These guys who are trying to corner—and then catch—an electric eel must have skipped every science class possible. Who in their right mind would want to catch one? I don’t know, your guess is as good as mine. But if they were in their right mind, I’m sure they would have brought some protective equipment like, oh I don’t know, rubber gloves and rubber boots. Not this guy though. The moment he went for his fishing pole (while still in the water of course), the eel decided he wasn’t going for that ish, and sent somewhere around 600 volts through his would-be captors body. Lucky for him, he wasn’t badly hurt. Just, shocked.”
